Do not have too many irons in the fire		If we attempt to do too much at once, we shall not do anything properly

The pen is mightier than the sword		The written word is more to be feared than physical violence
A nod is as good as a wink		A hint or suggestion can be accepted and acted upon without further elaboration.
Do not ride the high horse		Do not be arrogant
Even Homer sometimes nods		Even the best of us are liable to make mistakes.
There is no place like home		Even a simple home is the best place in the world for the people who live in it.
A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet		It is not what a thing is called that matters, but what it is.
Every flow must have its ebb		Life has its ups and downs, neither good fortune nor ill fortune lasts forever.
A cat may look at a king		Anyone has the right to look at or speak to anyone else without having to worry about status, position, upbringing etc.
A chain is no stronger than its weakest link		The success of a group or team depends on the full commitment of every member
A closed mouth catches no flies		It is better not to say anything than to say something that might get you into trouble
A drowning man will clutch at a straw		A desperate person will do anything to save himself
A friend to all is a friend to none		A person who makes himself close to everyone probably cannot be trusted by any one
A good beginning makes a good ending		Something that starts off right will probably succeed all the way and end on the right note
A good name is better than riches		A good reputation is precious, difficult to earn and cannot be bought
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing		Knowing only a little about something can cause you to distort the truth or overestimate, misunderstand something
